I like to watch baseball games, especially when our national team is fighting for the triumph. Gong-Tou held an activity to connect the blogsphere to give applouse to the Zhong-Hua (Chinese Taipei) Team. I hope they will get a good result in the ’06 World Baseball Classic. Come on. Let the world know we are a strong tiger, not an ill cat.
A Patch For WordPress
After I posted last article, I found it’s not validated and the HTML Validator showed me where the error is. I traced the source code of WordPress, made a little modification, and then solved the problem. That’s not the point. The point is, I decided to report the bug to the development team. I went on the official web site, simply searched the forum and the tickets system to make sure that no one had reported this, registered an account (although it’s not necessary… XD), filled the ticket form, and then submitted it.
I don’t know if this patch will be received or not, and the problem is not critical, but for me, it’s worthy to write it down. I’ve used WordPress for such a long time, and this is the first time I do something for it. ^^a
Kilo & I Look Alike
Last Chinese Valentine’s Day, I designed a cover based on the picture above and ordered two EasyCards for Kilo and me as the Valentine’s gifts. I also used the picture as my laptop’s background image since then. Today, when I was using my laptop, my mom walked behind me and saw that image. She said that Kilo and I look very alike. My brother was nearby and he agreed with her.
Haha… does it mean that we are so-called “husband-and-wife faces” ?
2006.02.11 UPDATE: The pictures below are my background and the card cover.
Chinese New Year’s Eve
Tonight is Chinese New Year‘s Eve, one of the most important holidays for Chinese. Families get reunion from where they work or study, enjoy the New Year Eve’s Feast (reunion dinner), and the elders will give the juniors red packet as a Spring Festival gift. Theoretically, everybody loves the happy ambiance.
But I don’t like this very much. Maybe it’s a waekness in my personality. I don’t like to get in touch with my relatives. I don’t know exactly what the reason is, but I do know the condition since I was a child. But it’s an important tradition, I still have to follow it. Maybe I need to change my mind a little, face this with a more positive attitude, and then I can accept this in a happier mood.
Hope everyone have a good chinese new year, get healthier than before, and every thing can be all right.

Respect For Other’s Opinion
I had a elementary school classmates meeting tonight. A girl (she doesn’t like her name to be shown on the internet.) seriously asked me about an article about the previous meeting that I posted on my blog, and wanted me to correct some wrong information about her and remove her name. I was scared by her unexpected action at that time.
But after going back home, I did what she asked at once. I have to respect for other’s opinion. Maybe some things are little for me but serious for them. Although her attitude was not very polite, I couldn’t get angry. It’s my fault of not asking her first, wasn’t it?

Free Calls With VoipStunt
Several weeks ago, I read an article introducing VoipStunt, which can make phone calls without charge, but just the regular landlines. It’s lucky that Taiwan is in their list. So I registered an ID and tried to phone home. That’s really free, and the connection quality was acceptable. So, since then, when I needed to call any regular landline, I always used it.
But there’s a little weakness. I can feel a little delay, about 0.5-1 second. If the call is short and not very important, this can be ignored. On the contrary, I’ll choose Skype as the first priority.
